Doug, I quite understand.  On a trip to a Minnesota PCB supplier to be unnamed, I was served 3 double shots of Akvavit (White Water, albeit it is a rather golden "whiskey" color).  I think it was around this time that I last saw my Tyrannosaurus Rex (Manospondylus Gigas).

As for the Erythronium name, as much as I do love Wiki, this was learned of from a horticulturist that worked for me as a document clerk.  When I was looking up the name for a trout lily it cross-referenced that this was the nomen oblitum (forgotten name) for Vanadium.  So it is probably a good thing that the name was not also used for Vanadium as the trout lily bulb is edible (although I think it is a bit of an acquired taste), while higher valence Vanadium compounds and Plomo Marrón can be rather toxic.

Being the memorious person that I am, it was nice to share this bit of knowledge/trivia in honor of Bob Maurer, my former document clerk, who has since passed on.
